Illinois experience with Scully,
the Irish landlord, makes her one of
the pioneers of movement that
should be promptly followed by the
other States. From his residence in
London, Scully rules over 10000
acres in the fairest part of Logan
county. He has introduced the
worst features of the abominable
system of tenancy that has impover-
ished Ireland for centuries. His ten
ants are among the most ignorant of
their class, and his lands can be
pointed out among the prosperous,
well-kept farms for their thriftless
appearance. His tenants are kept
in debt to him, and any improve
ments they make upon their farms
are only an expense for an increase
of rent. That his tenants do not run
away is explained only by their lack
of intelligence and by Scully's grip
upon their effects. The laws that en-
courage a system of tenant farming
are bad enough at best, but when
they allow an alien, resident in Lon
don, to control and impoverish thou
sands of acres of the best land in the
country, the system is at its worst.
The Illinois Legislature proposes to
give aliens three years to dispose of
their lands in that State. After that
time the lands will be forfeited. The
same plan should be pursued in every
State and Territory in the Union,

Hugging No Offense.

SCRANTON, Pa Oct.-2l Rev John Ser
Wis pastor of the Congregational church at
Daggetts Mills, rioga county. and some of
the members of his church have just settled
the investigation of charges against each
other. The gslstor had been intent in >ecur-
ing good attendance upon his meetings
and preferred charges before the deaeonS of
non-aitendance upon the part of many mem
bers. The latter retaliared by putting in a
charge of immoral conduct against the
preacher; specifically charging that he was
out riding with one of the female members
OF the church aud had put his arm around
her and hugged and kissed her
The deaonns held their meeting last even
ing and when the preacher was called upon
TO testify he admitted the charges and said
it was done with good motive. The dea-
cons then found a verdict of no cause for az
tion and extolled the minister for hugging
the young lady, who is considered the hand
soonest in the village
Public sentiment is very much divided
over the case aud, despite the settlement
made by the deacons, there is evidence of a
lively church disruption.
